my grandmother

Chapter 59

That night, the five Li family siblings didn't sleep well.

Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu were talking in a low voice, from the time when their parents were still there, they said that when Xuedong married his wife, it would be best if they could buy two houses next to each other, living together and not living together.

Then calculate how much copper cash these two houses get. Their eggs turn into preserved eggs, and preserved eggs turn into copper cash. How much copper cash can they earn from the business of buying eggs with copper tin? How long will it take to earn enough money for the house? Jue mentioned the rooster crowing.

Li Xiaonan fell asleep, but Li Yinzhu jumped up after half an hour at most, screaming, "Oh, it's late, it's dawn!"

Li Xiaonan was woken up one after another by her, and she didn't sleep well that night.

It stands to reason that Li Xuedong had nothing to do with the opening of the shop, but Li Xuedong was still tossing and turning, so excited that he almost wanted to write a poem, a fu or something, but he had to light a lamp to write. Daydreaming in bed.

Before the first chicken crowed, Li Yinzhu rushed into the kitchen, boiled hot water, and began to wash the pig's head.

Li Xiaonan followed behind, got up slowly, yawned, poured the already lukewarm water from the big teapot, took the big bowl, and squatted at the kitchen door to brush her teeth.

Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu moved very quickly, tidying up the inside and outside of the house, sweeping the yard, Li Jinzhu took out the extremely beautiful big rooster from the backyard, Li Yuzhu picked up the live fish kept in the water tank, killed the chicken and dissected the fish.

Pig heads, chicken and fish are all offerings to worship the gods at the opening today.

Sister-in-law Yin said that the main owner of this preserved egg and salted egg shop is the Li family, and the Li family must do the god-respecting things themselves, and their family can't do it for them, so the god-respecting things can't be fooled.

Uncle Li Wenliang also said the same.

These three offerings were purchased by Li Wenliang and delivered to Cailian Lane yesterday evening, where the Li family siblings prepared them themselves.

The pig's head was very clean, and Li Yinzhu quickly washed it, placed it in a pot and steamed it.

According to the rules taught by Mrs. Yin, the pig's head should be steamed until it is seven or eight mature.

Li Yinzhu carefully lit the fire, concentrating on steaming the pig's head, which is an extremely important event!
Li Xuedong packed up, holding the book, turning it around, looking here and there.

He asked for leave today, and the shop opened to worship the gods, so he, the head of the family, offered incense and kowtowed.

Li Jinzhu, Li Yuzhu, and Li Yinzhu quickly packed up the three offerings, had some breakfast in a hurry, covered the three large silver plates on which the offerings were placed with red silk, each of them carried one, and went out of the courtyard with Mrs. Yin , went straight to the shop.

Both the silver plate and the red silk were borrowed from Mrs. Yin’s house, and the silver and bright red silk on the plate was brand new, bright and beautiful.

Li Wenliang was already waiting at the door of the shop, accompanied by Mr. Yin and Yang invited from the government office, and two experienced stewards from the Hong family who came to help.

Sister-in-law Yin's husband and father-in-law also rushed over.

Li Wenliang and Li Jinzhu carried out the offering table, and Mr. Yin Yang stepped forward with a serious face, shook the dust whisk on the table a few times, spread the red silk on it, and then shook it a few more times, signaling Li Jinzhu to set up the offerings, and then threw them on the offerings Put a few dust whisks on, and then put the incense burner to press the talisman paper.

Li Xiaonan stretched her neck, staring intently.

Mr. Yin Yang swung his whisk down, showing a tired face with great strength, flicked his fingers, and said slowly: "Okay, let's burn the incense."

Li Wenliang hurriedly motioned to Li Xuedong.

Li Jinzhu hesitated for a while, then pushed Li Xiaonan, "You go too, with your brother."

Mr. Yin Yang raised his eyebrows and squinted at Li Jinzhu.

Li Wenliang hastily smiled and said, "My little niece has a very good life, she is very blessed."

Mr. Yin Yang lowered his eyebrows and hummed.

Li Xuedong pulled Li Xiaonan to stand in front of the altar, and the two worshiped the gods of wealth together. Li Xuedong first handed three incense sticks to Li Xiaonan, and then took three more, lit the incense on the red candle, and inserted it into the incense burner.

Li Jinzhu and others came forward to prostrate, the incense sticks were burned out, and the most important thing before the opening was completed.

Inviting the God of Wealth into the shrine in the shop and removing the altar, the two stewards of the Hong family spread out long firecrackers and set off them crackling.

Just after the firecrackers were set off, a middle-aged man in a bronze silk dress stepped on the cannon skin and entered the small shop. First, he stood next to the preserved egg, bent over, and carefully looked at the preserved egg that had been peeled off to make a sample.

"This is the authentic handicraft of the old Gaoyou Yin family. It is guaranteed to have no astringency at all, and it is very fragrant." Yin's sister-in-law stepped forward to greet her.

"Gaoyou Yin's preserved egg is pretty good, can you try it?" The middle-aged man smiled.

"Row!"

Sister-in-law Yin readily agreed, picked up one at random, knocked it on the table next to it, took half of the eggshell, and used the remaining half of the eggshell to hold a bright yellow, clean and dust-free preserved egg, and sent it to the middle-aged in front of people.

"Good craftsmanship!" The middle-aged man praised, stretched out his hand to take out the preserved egg, first bit into a piece of egg white, tasted it carefully, then bit into the yolk, sucked a mouthful, tasted it carefully, and let out a hum, " Really good."

Li Jinzhu and the others didn't dare to gather around, and looked nervously at the middle-aged people who were savoring carefully. Hearing that it was indeed a good sentence, Li Jinzhu heaved a sigh of relief. She clapped her hands on her chest and panted hard, she was so nervous.

Standing next to Sister-in-law Yin, Li Xiaonan looked at a brocade bag next to the middle-aged man's purse. The pattern embroidered on the corner of the brocade bag was exactly the same as the pattern on the big cart of the family.

The middle-aged man didn't waste it, he ate a whole preserved egg, clapped his hands, and smiled with Mrs. Yin: "I am the buyer of the palace outside the city. From today onwards, your shop will send a hundred preserved eggs to Bieye every day. Hundreds of salted eggs.

"The rule of our family is to pay in advance and settle at the end of the month.

"Every day between Yinzheng and Yinmo, you have to send the goods to Taoyuanmen. Today is the first trip. You don't need to worry about the time. You can send it there now. When you arrive at Taoyuanmen, let them ask Lao Huang to come out to receive the goods.

"On the first trip, you have to make a list, how much is a preserved egg, how much is a salted egg, how much is delivered every day, and how much is the total amount, let your boss sign and draw a deposit, and hand it over to Lao Huang, who will take you to account The house supports silver.

"The goods delivered to the other industry must be carefully selected, and no mistakes can be made." The middle-aged man made a series of explanations clearly.

"Yes, yes, what's your surname?" Sister-in-law Yin repeatedly agreed.

"Miangui's surname is Sun, and they all call me Guanshi Sun." Guanshi Sun replied with a smile, "You guys send it there right away. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Sun Guanshi, go slowly!" Sister-in-law Yin sent Guanshi to the door, turned around and rushed back to the shop, patted Li Jinzhu with one hand, and patted Li Yuzhu with the other, "Oh! Our business! Good! It's okay, it's steady! Ouch! It's so good!"

Li Wenliang, who had been huddled in a corner of the shop since Steward Sun came in, came out from the corner, and said with a smile to Li Jinzhu, "Look at the shop, I'll send it over, Da Lang hurry up and write a list."

Li Jinzhu looked at Sister-in-law Yin, and Sister-in-law Yin hurriedly nodded and said with a smile, "I just wanted to trouble you to go, I really can't leave with the eldest lady and the second lady."

Li Wenliang saw that Li Jinzhu nodded, and smiled with the two stewards of the Hong family: "This shipment is very important, can you bother me to deliver this shipment with me?"

The two stewards repeatedly agreed that it was a wish for them to be able to deliver the goods along with them!
